What have

you been playing? I've been playing The Incident at Galley House.

This is a game I've been playing on Steam, but if you're not a PC player, don't worry, neither am I.

This could be played on even the most basic of laptops.

This game came out on the 14th of July, and it is essentially a remade version of a game called Type Help, which really took off on itch.

And what's been nice is it's been sort of like, people got interested in it and they've decided to sort of build it up properly.

And it's a deduction game.

It reminds me of that.

Well, so the question is, is this rule to stop this from happening again? Is this on the guy or is this on you?

Imagine if I was like, the rule needs to be we need to stop giving up our seats to pregnant people.

LAUGHTER I don't know if this is me being unreasonable and it might well be, but I was on a tube and a pregnant person got on and I immediately offered my seat.

That's not me trying to be a knight about it.

That's just what happened.

And she sat down and then I then switched to the aforementioned Metropolitan line.

And she got onto the same tube as me.

There's an exposed sort of, it's like I would never wear socks without underpants.

What do you think? Are you interested? Have you had a dabble? Are you interested in going into

this? I guess what I want to ask is my...

I was quite late to Assassin's Creed.

My first one was Odyssey in, I think, 2018.

And loved it.

I think, like with a lot of Bethesda games, and I think... or sorry with Ubisoft games rather your favourite one is the first one you played because they are they become so similar and they're so sort of re-skinned obviously the environments are gorgeous but what it meant was Black Flag I didn't play until 2021 so I played it comprehensively and really enjoyed it but as someone who only played the original one five years ago do you think this is worth it for me or do you think it's this is for people who have even never played it or played it years ago when it first came out

It's so

apologetic.

[laughs]

I do think I...

Like, any manual labor task.

Any, any movement of a thing from one room to another room.

So I just moved house recently.

I would just get them to...

I'd find it satisfying seeing a wardrobe going down the stairs-

Yeah.

What have you been playing?

I've been playing The Incident at Galli House.

Um, this is a game I've been playing on Steam, but if you're not a PC player, don't worry.

Neither am I.

This can be played on even the most basic of laptops.

This game came out on the 14th of July, and it is essentially a remade version of a game called Type Help, which really took off, um, uh, on Itch.

Um, and what's been nice is it's been sort of like, um, uh, people got interested in it, and they've decided to sort of build it up properly, and it's a deduction game.

Mm-hmm.

What are you choosing, Glenn? I'm choosing a

game called Fort Solis, and I'm choosing it.

This might be a bit of a controversial choice in that I don't think this game is amazing, but I think it was really unfairly treated.

This game came out in 2021.

It's a space walking sim set on Mars.

It features the voices of Roger Clark, who is, of course, Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Troy Baker, who is the voice of every single video game character ever, apart from Mario.

I mean, it's happened in music, right, Glenn? Like James was saying, I know there's been a bit of a vinyl revival, but I can't remember the last time I bought an album on CD.

game what a video game premiere is like

So I don't know if this is like typical of this sort of thing, but it was at BAFTA near Piccadilly Circus and everyone took their seats in like a cinema and they played like the trailer for the game because it was going to be coming out a couple of days later.

And then the director of the game came out on stage and they showed someone playing basically the tutorial, the opening prologue.

They played Lana Del Rey's song.

And then what happened was the cast of the game came out because there's so much like mocap.

And there are people from various, the guy playing Bond is like, he plays like young, the young version of Dexter, basically in the TV series, yeah.

But there's someone from like industry in the game as well, like Gemma Chan's in it, Lenny Kravitz, but they like brought up a cast for like a sort of like round table sort of thing on the stage.

doing.

Parking that to one side, a guy who you knew that you were coming up against, regardless of what position you were playing at on the field, when you knew you had to be on, who was that guy for you?

Ooh.

[sighs]Probably, well, in the, in the later years, as, as, as, as much as you would never beat the guy Kevin Iro.

Right.

You know? Right.

But that was in the later years.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

Yeah.

Do you still do your fringe gauntlet that I read about you doing a fringe gauntlet? Do you remember talking about that? The Royal Mile? Yeah, the Royal Mile fringe gauntlet.

Yeah, I did it.

I was up for a couple of weeks the last two years, just doing like an 11 a.m. work in progress.

Okay.

And the Royal Mile was on my way home.

Okay.

Explain what the gauntlet involves.

I've done it successfully twice.

What's the film that made you cry the most? Do you cry? Are you a crier?

I was very late to crying in films.

And I think there was a shame for me, an internal shame that came only from myself.

I don't think my family would have judged me if they'd seen me crying over a film or anything like that.

But I used to get really bummed out by films.

Like, not sad bits, but I'd get really depressed when in a film you saw something dreadful happen to someone and then didn't hear anything about them afterwards.

I'm fine seeing someone suffer a horrific injury or trauma if they're then in another scene, if I can just see them in hospital afterwards.

Mm-hmm.

And it

does feel a bit community on what is a month that can be really, really good fun.

So I do get that.

I just feel like when you're starting out when it's at its hardest, you're at such an unfair advantage because chances are you will not be making a profit from the fringe.

Yeah.

You've put all your savings into it.

You're in the worst living circumstances you've ever been in.
